Parshat תזריע holds four פרקים.   

This Parshah renews a-fresh the 13 middot cycle, repeated 4 times throughout Torat Moshe.   G’lut goes hand in glove with tumah.   The spiritual concept of tumah, expressed by gross violence, horrid injustice, religious fanaticism, evil corruption and pious hypocrisy.   The catholic inquisition most essentially defines these expressions of tumah throughout the entire history of mankind.   But the Av tumah, the common denominator of all human wickedness on this Earth, specifically the cowardly refusal by men to accept responsibility for their war crimes.   This gutless poltroonery of both spine and spirit causes future generations to inherit this Av tumah baseness of mind.

Impossible to appreciate how eagles soar, oblivious to how worms smirm and crawl.  Parshat בראשית forever separates Man from the serpent.  The דיוק which that mussar instructs, the gap between the Yatzir Ha’Tov and the Yatzir Ha’Rah.  Parshat וארא of שמות, describes the tumah which dominates the judgment, both heart and mind of Par’o.  The gap between tohor and tumah compares to that between g’lut opposed by geullah\slave vs. liberated free man/.   The g’lut slave takes no responsibility for his actions.   The liberated free man accepts the necessary obligations in order to live as a free man.   Slaves and justice share no common denominator.  

This bi-polar palarity, this requirement to learn Talmud through דיוקים – משל\נמשל, most essentially defines the logic of the בעל פה Oral Torah revelation @ Horev.   Torah spirituality prioritizes freedom together and inseparable from justice.   Where a Man fails to cling to responsibility for his actions, justice can not exist.   Bravery, soldiers and armies do not best exemplify this pluck\spunk of spirit.  The דיוק made on the story of HaShem asking Adam if he had eaten from the forbidden fruit – המן העץ אשר צויתיך לבלתי אכל ממנו אכלת … the second Adam refused to accept responsibility for his action, he became a slave and HaShem expelled him from Paridise – the משל of freedom.

The beginning of a new cycle of the 13 tohor middot therefore both defines and affiexed to – the k’vanna of the first of the Middle Blessings within the Shemone Esrei tefillah.   The language חונן, learns from the tefillah made by Moshe to enter into the oath sworn lands.
אתה חונן לאדם דעת ומלמד לאנוש בינה.  חננו מאתך חכמה בינה ודעת.  ברוך אתה ה’, חונן הדעת
The בסיס\קרן upon which stands all human knowledge — the wisdom to dedicate tohor middot — expressed by future behavior toward & among family and bnai brit peers — sanctified by standing before a Sefer Torah as holy unto HaShem.  Upon Judgment Day when asked concerning the actions of a Man’s life, a Mensch answers:   I am responsible for both my tohor and tumah behaviors.   The beginning of wisdom embraces the mussar דיוק taught by Adam Ha’Reshon to all bnai brit.

This מוסר יסודי for ever separates the t’rumah of the Torah oath brit faith from the chol tumah קליפה shell\chaff of the Xtian/Islam avodah zarah.   The tumah religions theologize how a man should believe in this or that God(s), they ignore the necessity required by the Torah – for man – in all Ages or generations, to take responsibility for his/together with that of his people\ their actions and social behaviors.   All base spirituality which lacks the courage to teach this most fundamental truth, shares no portion with the Torah faith, which forever separates tohor from tumah middot.

Individual Man does not exist divorced from his society’s culture, traditions, and customs.  Moshe our Teacher did not come into the oath sworn land but died together with the Wilderness generation.  Foreign attempts to understand the Torah divorced from the Siddur, the Talmud and Midrashim – express a tumah perversion of reality.  Foreigners, peoples who never accepted the revelation of the Torah @ Sinai @ Horev לשמה, they have no say in the determination of Jewish culture or custom; the king of Israel … how much more so.  HaShem who revealed His Torah @ Sinai @ Horev, rules as the King of Israel – the chosen Cohen nation.  Upon this בסיס\קרן stands the oath brit faith of the Torah.   Jews mock and despise all foreign Creeds or theologies which preach otherwise.

The opening פרק of תזריע יב: א – ח.  Following the birth of a male and immediately following the ברית מילה the woman sits 33 days בדמי טהרה.   Perhaps the joy of Lag B’Omer learns from this Torah precedent.   The mitzva of counting the Omer most essentially learns from the precedent of removing all חמץ prior to P’sach.  The משל\נמשל דיוק learned from this מוסר … to remove the חמץ of foreign assimilation from our lives.   A key concept of faith: the Sanhedrin lateral courts – they alone bear responsibility to determine, as a matter of intra-bnai brit diplomacy – justice among our people and society; the cultures and customs, manners and practices of the Jewish people within the borders of our oath sworn land inheritance. 

Let’s learn.  A distant precedent: דברים יא: כב – כה.   The precedent by which a man clings to his wife to produce children, this משל\נמשל דיוק likewise apples to embracing HaShem as the King of Israel, as expressed through common law judicial rulings based upon mitzvot & halachot precedents.  As Israel removes all חמץ prior to Pesach, by this precedent, Israel likewise accepts the responsibility to remove and destroy all foreign avodah zarah cultures and customs from within our midst.

Another distant precedent: יג: יג – יט.   The Jews 4 JeZeus abomination compares to the Karaite & Reform Judaism abominations.   Religious assimilation of Jewry in g’lut lands, exists as base tumah middot.   Still another distant precedent: טז: ט – יב.  The sister partner of Chag P’sach – Chag Shevuoth – defines this dedication to remove ourselves from foreign cultural assimilation and alien practices.   

No bnai brit can assimilate unto Egyptian or Canaanite cultural mannerisms and accept the Torah @ Sinai on Chag Shevuoth.   As a woman sits in her blood of purification following the birth of a child, how much more so Israel counts the Omer, we sit in the blood of our purification from foreign tumah customs, cultures, mannerisms, religions, and ways practiced by the societies who reject the revelation of the Torah @ Sinai @ Horev לשמה.

No foreign “International Court”, nor any alien avodah zarah religion – determines the national borders,,, nor the King of the Jewish people.   The Torah, as the Constitution of the Jewish Republic\commonwealth, it mandates only Prophets and\or the Sanhedrin courts, the responsibility to determine and shape the “clay” —  the culture and customs of Jewish society — within the oath sworn lands.

A slightly distant precedent: יז: כא,כב.  A negative commandment despises planting a sexual fertility god tree beside the oath brit altar on Zion.  Another slightly distant precedent: יח:א,ב.  After the sin of the calf, the Tribe of Levi assumes responsibility for the first born.  Within the borders of the oath sworn lands, the 42 Levitical cities exist the Yeshivot which teach Torah as common law.

Compare these distant and slightly distant precedents to this precise and exact Oral Torah precedent יט: טו – כא.  All Capital Crimes cases require no less than two witnesses, who independently observed the identical murder.   The literal ruling of an eye for an eye directly applies to false witnesses in a Capital Crime trial.   In all other cases, specifically in Torts damage cases, the concept of eye for an eye – understood as monetary compensation for damages.

The kabbalah of מלכים.  A slightly distant precedent: יג: יא – כ. The aggaddic story of a false prophet and a lying witness, who caused the prophet who denounced the altar built by Jarov’am, to die trief by the paw of a lion.  Another slightly distant precedent: טז: כג – כח.  All the kings of Israel compare to all the courtrooms within all European governments throughout history.  None established tohor righteous justice within those tumah lands of bloodshed and oppression

Compare this kabbalah מלכים א יט: טו – כא.  Tohor prophets command mussar; the Sanhedrin courts משנה תורה too commands mussar.  Either this or that – does the Torah mandate to anoint the designated leaders of the nation.  The Torah constitutional commonwealth rejects any democratic mandate of government authority.   Jewish governments which recognize the משנה תורה/legislative review\”Aggaddic” authority of the Sanhedrin courts to determine the mussar k’vanna of all statute laws imposed by the Knesset or any other Jewish government authority/bureaucracy exist as Torah approved governments and/or bureaucracies.

Another exact precise precedent מלכים ב: י: יח – כט.  Yehu destroys all the priests of Ba’al.  Yet Yehu walked the path of Yarov’am the רשע. He failed to uproot the avodah zarah which king Shlomo worshiped as an abomination.  King Shlomo failed to establish the Great Sanhedrin federal courts as “the Beit Hamikdash”.   Which king David – his father – commanded the true heirs of the Davidic kingdom to establish.

Government immunity, the notion of the Divine Right of Kings, the Sanhedrin declares as a Torah abomination.   The Sanhedrin common law lateral federal courts, they judge both individuals and government ministers of State.   No Head of State or any member of the government enjoys  the status of “too big to fail”.  Regardless, many corporate monopolies lionize this disgusting tumah pretense.

The Talmud restricts the jurisdiction of the Sanhedrin courts to domestic local disputes.  Consequently Israel despises and abhors European imperialism which attempts to foist some “Treaty established International European Court, followed by its vile attempts to impose European legislative review\domination upon the Israeli government.  European courtrooms, throughout history, have an evil reputation of obsessive corrupt injustice.   

Israel fought 2 Wars of Independence in 1948 and again in 1967.  Neither the UN nor a treaty established, international Euroean Court, determines the borders and Capital City of the Jewish State.  The Jewish government alone determines the strategic national interests of the Independent Nation of Israel.  The impudence of European imperialism, the narcissistic leaders of those homosexual governments need to remove their heads from within the anas of other countries. 

No European government permits their own courts dominion of legislative review, to overrule government statute laws within the EU.  Despite the fact that the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has attempted to impose EU law over individual EU member states.  The enforcement of such rulings remains a subject of tremendous doubt.  The ECJ realizes that their power to impose legislative review requires the acquiescence of member EU states.

The International Criminal Court of fraud merits nothing short of absolute derision & contempt.   If such a court wants to judge the Jewish state, then its justices should hold their court in Israel.  Based upon the assumption that Israel would not arrest those justices and throw their haughty wigs & gowns into a fashionable calaboose.

The 2nd פרק of תזריע begins: יג: א – ח.  The 3rd פרק of this Parshah: יג: ט – כח.  The closing פרק: יג:כט – נט.  All three פרקים subsume the subject of צרעת to the משנה תורה mussar learned from the opening פרק.

Therefore its the 24th Day of the Omer count which learn from the removal of חמץ prior to Pesach. The Torah teaches through the משל\נמשל learning technique. The נמשל of the חמץ משל, the commandment to remove avodah zarah from within our hearts. Therefore on Chag Shevuoth, Yidden do just the opposite and dedicate bread containing חמץ. Why? The Goyim did not accept the revelation of the Torah @ Sinai @ Horev. Therefore Jews avodat HaShem appears to Goyim as avodah zarah.

Reactionaries love ad hominen non logic. It appears to me that the current Ukraine border dispute, that it compares to the Russian war with Finland prior to the Nazi invasion of Russia. Real live-fire training, it separates good generals from bureaucrats with ribbons. It purges the excess fat from the soldiers as well. Non-commissioned officers make up the backbone of any Army. The only way to test if these sergeants in fact merit their stripes – a bloody cluster-f*ck.

Russia has the potential for massive air superiority … yet to date it has not taken advantage of this most essential war time asset. Why? For starters, Russian military planners took into account that a war with the Ukraine would invite international intervention attempts. No-Fly Zones in particular. By not employing their air superiority ace, this prevents Nato escalation of this local border dispute. It effectively rules out a No-Fly Zone provocation. No country on the Planet wants to start WWIII.

By removing the air superiority Ace, this so to speak, equalizes the battle field. Soldiers, like new equipment, require live-fire tests. Armies need to taste the “blood” of battle. Another critical advantage of a relatively much longer conflict … than the West expected … Warfare stands upon the foundation of deception … the Russian Army appears incompetent, consequent to a bloody Ukraine conflict.

Hitler risked a 2 front war. The Soviet “disaster” war with Finland, most definitely influenced his decision to violate his own conclusions reached in his 1925 Mein Kampf. Stalin desperately needed a 2 front war, he continually demanded from FDR and Churchill, his “allies”, to open up a 2nd front within Europe! The Finnish War greatly influenced Hitlers’ decision to invade Russia.

Stalin also had a pretty good insight as to where the Nazis would invade. Napoleon invaded Russia through Lithuania. This threatened the Capital City of St. Petersburg. But it became obvious that Napoleon sought a climatic battle to defend Moscow. The Nazi generals, like Napoleon sought Moscow as the first Prize objective of the war. As a consequence of Stalin’s disastrous Collectivization starvation of the Kulaks in the Ukraine, hatred for Stalin made that territory an open door for the Nazi invasion of the USSR.

The current quagmire in the Ukraine therefore bloodies the Russian Army; it culls bureaucratic Generals and sergeants from the Army; it makes the Russian Army appear weak and incompetent. The latter entices the General Staff of Foreign hostile Capitals to likewise fall into the seductive trap that an invasion of Russia – as a quick little war. Russian military planners however, they base their strategies on a long destructive war.

In point of fact, any war with Russia more closely compares to the Pacific war made against Japan. Western generals should well remember the trench warfare of WWI. Encircle large Cities, cut off their supplies, and turn these isolated cities into prisoner of war camps. By making the inhabitants of these strategic surrounded cities, this obviously excludes St. Petersburg, its frozen winter lake likely prevents a total enclosure of that city, the invasion Armies could “kill the enemy with kindness”.

By digging trenches around isolated “prisoner of war camps”, the inhabitants of those cities would depend upon supplies of both food and medicines from the invaders! The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising conclusively proved the stupidity of that Corporal had infected the minds of the Nazi generals as well. Had the Nazis treated their captured prisoners with dignity and respect; permitted them to write letters to their families, and feed them rather than starve them, this would most certainly have broken the Will of the enemy to fight.

The Pacific War, the US navy employed the strategy of Island hopping. An invasion of Russia, key prisoner of war isolated cities would established heavily fortified WWI like trenches which would likewise serve as supply route fortifications. Furthermore, by not shattering the glass of these prisoner of war surrounded and isolated cities. Should the invading troops decide that their strategic interests require to capture a “Stalingrad”. Then they could not only achieve surprise, but just as essential, they could time the attack of their Armies to capture that “Stalingrad”, in conjunction with moments after their bombs exploded all the glass within that city.

The shock effect of shattered glass, a one shot chance to capture the city while its inhabitants suffer shock from those mass explosions. Buildings with no glass window do not produce the explosive shock felt by building whose glass explodes due to the pressures of high explosives, napalm, and white phosphorus bombs. A tight “window of opportunity” exists to quickly capture an entire city due to the shock effects of mass exploding glass.

Sharply contrast the Nazi stupidity and arrogance, they bombed Stalingrad days, even weeks before their soldiers attempted to capture that city. The Nazis lost all shock and surprise – and thank G-d, they lost WWII as a consequence of their racial bone headed stupidity, coupled with their dumb ass barbarism — which effectively steeled the Will of their enemies to make a fight to the death — as happened in both the Warsaw Ghetto Revolt and Leningrad.

The P’rushim … translated into Greek and later into English as pharisees … they taught Oral Torah Common Law which Rabbi Yechudah Ha’Nasi of the Great Sanhedrin later codified into the Books known as the Mishnah. As a Xtian, how do you explain your messiah’s absolute contempt for the teachers of the Oral Torah common law legal system? Have clearly shown the משנה תורה commandment which makes such behavior expressed by your messiah as a Capital Crime worthy of the death penalty.

How do you explain the blatant contradiction where your messiah tells his students to obey the Courts judicial legislative review of the statute laws imposed by Herod … and yet behaves with absolute disrespect to the people who taught how the judges of the courts logically made their common law prophetic mussar interpretations of the intent of the statute laws imposed by Herod’s government?

This glaring contradiction, have never seen any Xtian “authority” ever once address this elephant in the china closet. As a Jewish outsider to the Xtian faith, it seems to me that the failure of religious Goyim who pour their hearts and soul over the new testament, the failure of all generations of Xtians to grapple with this fundamental contradiction within the gospel books … it definitively proves that Xtianity in all its many branches despises the Torah, the Prophets, and the Holy Writings which make up the common law codification known as the T’NaCH.

The basic order of a US squad, its divided into two fire teams. This atomic organization of US military tactics, duplicated by all Armies across the world with slight variations. Current news\noise/ jabbers about the Russian invasion of the Ukraine. As previously mentioned the Napoleonic and Nazi invasions of Russia produced a huge – long enduring – national trauma which has permanently scared the Russian psyche. In similar vein as did the Mongol invasion of the 13th and 14th Centuries.

Napoleon’s main invasion thrust came through Estonia Latvia and Lithuania. Whereas the Nazi invasion focused upon the Ukraine, consequent to Stalin’s Collective farming – war – waged against the agrarian Kulaks, peasants who owned over 8 acres of land towards the end of the Russian Empire. The latter three countries have already joined the hostile Nato alliance. Hence the Russian outright refusal of the Ukraine likewise joining the Nato alliance. The threat of a 2 pronged double envelopment, which by-passes Belarus, similar to the Pacific tactics of Island hopping during WWII, this threat Russia has emphatically proven that it will not tolerate.

The winter campaign in the Ukraine, it compares to the war fought against Finland prior to the Nazi invasion. Russian’s winters play heavy in its strategic planning. Both France and Germany opened their invasions during the Spring and Summer months. A Nato invasion, if it happened would most probably begin in the Winter season, in hopes to achieve both surprise and the realization that any war with Russia would include winter fighting. Better to begin a war under the harsh constraints of winter while the supply lines remain within Nato’s sphere of domain than risk a Stalingrad entrapment.

In the French invasion, Tzar Alexander refused to engage the French army. The Russian army made an organized retreat. It forced Napoleon to enter into the bowls of Russian territory, and through a scorched earth policy – it robbed him of his expected ‘glorious victory’. The Nazi invasion, by sharp contrast Stalin actually enticed the Nazis to invade.

Stalin needed to fight the coming “long drawn out war” while Britain remained holding the dreaded, according to Hitler, second front. Stalin absolutely depended upon Nazi brutality; he needed that idiot Corporal to bleed his People white! Stalin’s barbaric policies during the decade of the ’30s, it forced him to actually desperately depend upon Hitler’s cruel SS stupidity; to scrub the dreadful memories of Stalin’s horrible and incompetent revolutionary policies — from the collective consciousness of his USSR peasants. Stalin, to some degree, he weighed FDR’s own collectivization policies, which transferred unto corporate monopolies, almost all the privately owned farmlands, which made up most of rural America — prior to the Depression.

Stalin also based his Great conflict strategies upon the model – a “long stalemate war”. This strategic model, he attributed as the primary cause which brought about the total collapse of the Tzar empire; consequent to the 1905 Japanese military achievements, and their destruction of the Russian fleet. The coming Great War with Germany already surpassed WWI – with the French surrender to Germany. WWI not only permitted, it actually caused the Bolshevik revolution. Stalin’s problem … why should WWII not produce similar results? In short, Stalin’s throne, it sat on a very shaky foundation. The political realities which threatened Tzar Alexander, they share little or no comparison to those – Stalin confronted.

Let’s learn. This third פרק of ויקרא addresses Shalom korban dedications. Shalom rests upon a יסוד\foundation of trust. The shabbos meals, clearly teaches that shalom, made with family and friends – but not with non bnai brit aliens. Consequently, a shalom korban dedication, this sanctification, it formally renews the oath brit alliance among our People, after the conclusion of a Court room judicial ruling, which resolves a legal dispute among conflicting parties within our Jewish civilization. Red ants never invite Black ants, or any other species of ant, into their colonies. The Talmud differentiates a korban oleh from a korban shalom. The former, even Goyim can dedicate an oath alliance to HaShem. Not so a shalom korban. Only an Israel can sanctify such an oath dedication, sworn to HaShem – upon the altar in Jerusalem. Goyim have never accepted the oath brit revelation of the Written & Oral Torah @ Sinai\Horev.

A slightly distant precedent, דברים ב: לא – לז. Based upon this משנה תורה, a shalom korban first and foremost our people dedicate unto HaShem following war victory over our enemies. Clearly a shalom korban predicates itself upon shalom among our own people. Soldiers fight like lions when we fight the enemy as a ‘band of brothers’.

Another slightly distant precedent: יד:א – כא. Only the chosen Cohen nation has the obligation to respect and observe states of tohor & tumah. The dietary laws which differentiate tohor from tumah animals, birds, fish and insects, these dietary obligations, they separate the Jewish “ant colony” from all other “ant colonies” on the face of this Earth throughout history. Just as Goyim do not observe the dietary laws, so too Goyim forbidden to dedicate shalom offerings upon the altar in Jerusalem.

A distant precedent: יז:ח – יג. Justice among our people absolutely relies and depends upon the lateral common law court rooms. Any bnai brit person who despises the judicial ruling issued by the Courts, that person has committed a Capital Crime against our nation.

Another distant precedent: כג: ד -ז. The eternal ban placed upon the male descendants of Lot for their evil eye and bad faith. The Talmud refers to Europeans as Esau. Our history under the rule of those barbarians, shares similarities to the psychic trauma scars born by the Russian people; the suffering they endured from those horrific invasions.

A perfect precedent: כד:א – ט. The model of shalom stands upon the יסוד\foundation of a husband wife relationship. The obligation to walk with tohor spirits together with all our People, it best defines shalom. Tumah spirits, they so to speak, temporarily transform a “red ant” unto a “black ant” or some other alien species of ant. No Goyim peoples or societies, throughout all the annuls of Human history, have ever weighed and prioritized tohor spirits over tumah spirits. Therefore the Torah absolutely teaches a clear negative commandment that Goyim must never dedicate a shalom korban upon the altar of Jerusalem.

ישעיה כח: ה- טו, this mussar commandment likewise serves as a precise precedent. Woe to our nation when religious dogmatic ritualism defines our faith in HaShem. When our drunk scholars and judges behave with contempt, they ignore the wisdom of lateral common law, they daily flout their Capital Crime contempt for shalom to reign and prevail within the society of our oath alliance People. A curse rests upon the leads of assimilated rabbis who corrupt Torah common law unto Goyim statute law. Herein defines the k’vanna of:
ולירושלים עירך ברחמים תשוב, ותשכן בתוכה כאשר דברת, ובנה אותה בקרוב בימינו בנין עולם, וכסא דוד עבדך מהרה לתוכה תכין. ברוך אתה ה’, מצמיח קרן ישועה

The attempts made by Reshonim scholarship to learn the Written Torah down to its simple פשט, which some understood as grammar, contrasts with Rashi’s unique sh’itta of learning פשט. He affixed Midrash and Aggaditah to a specific verse. Rashi’s exceptionally terse language did not explain the logic by which he accomplished his utterly amazing commentary upon the Chumash. Oral Torah logic, classically taught one on one with a Rabbi to a pupil. Alas even before the Rambam Civil War, many if not most rabbinic authorities had lost the skill\wisdom of the פרדס Oral Torah logic. Hundreds of super commentaries written on the Rashi Chumash commentary. Personally have not seen a single post Rashi commentary which understood the פרדס system of logic.

This absolute disaster serves as proof of the brutal realities of g’lut. The harsh environmental conditions which threatened the very continued existence and survival of g’lut Jewry. Scattered by the Romans, following the 3 Wars which resulted in our total defeat. Jews, thrown into g’lut, defeated, decimated survivors of those brutal revolts; sold as slaves, forced to live in hostile societies who hated and detested the ‘cursed wandering Jews’. ‘Condemned by God to forever wander the earth’, as despised and detested refugees – who have no rights.

The vast majority of the Jewish people under these conditions assimilated, embraced, and copied the cultures and customs of the societies wherein they struggled to survive and continue to exist. The same realities equally affected Sephardi and Ashkenazi g’lut Jewry. The halachic codes made by the B’hag, Rif, and Rosh they sharply contrast against the later works produced by assimilated scholars like the Rambam, the Tur, the Shulchan Aruch, and the ghetto Polish commentaries made upon that latter worthless code of statute law.

The day and night difference between Rashi’s commentary and the later super commentaries upon Rashi … they closely compare to post Rambam Civil War Talmudic scholarship which clearly had no knowledge of the פרדס Oral Torah logic format — designed to employ this unique sh’itta of logic to interpret the Written Torah mussar commandments. The rabbinic authorities after the Rambam, they compare to herds of buffalo who run off the edge of a cliff, chased by leaves blowing into the wind.

Post Shoah, many Israelis utterly despised the Shoah survivors. Israeli society viewed their willingness to simply walk passively to their deaths as an absolute disgrace which revealed their despicable  cowardness. Following the Eichmann Trial, Israelis embraced a different point of view. We had a better grasp of the horrors of the Nazi war crimes. We thereafter better understood and recognized the horrid plight of European Jewry.

Sephardi rabbinic authorities in mass, they volunteered to kiss the butt of ancient Greek philosophers. This decision compares to the plight of Shoah survivors. It therefore requires that later generations strive to appreciate and understand the harsh physical environment which directly challenged our Jewish survival as a people.

The facts testify to their defense: Jewish communities they did survived, despite taxation without representation, arbitrary expulsions, absolute poverty and destitute misery, constant slanders, degradations and humiliations. Consequently rabbinic Judaism merits more than simple pity. Rabbinic Judaism, church Priests and Pastors, they often persecuted those Rabbinic authorities first, and only thereafter butchered & slaughtered the hapless Jewish common man. The Shach (1622-1663), a Polish lord murdered him as a sacrifice.

Jews, my Yeshiva peers, who study the Shulchan Aruch, virtually all view the commentaries made by the Shach and his son in law the TaZ, as absolutely essential to understand that statute law codification. Rav Nemuraskii chose to reveal the פרדס logic system only to myself. My peers who did not learn this definitive sh’itta of Rabbi Akiva, they do not merit contempt for their ignorance.

Post Shoah Israel, perhaps we compare to a turtle that slowly emerges from within its protective shell. 2000+ years of g’lut, even after the attainment of National Independence as a People, only slowly do the differences emerge which distinguish a free independent nation from despised refugee populations who endured harsh environments in g’lut societies. All of whom, with the big exception of the United States, have generally abhorred and detested the existence of Jewish refugees within their borders. Some South American governments, of the Catholic new world, immediately after WWII, with the blessings of Poop Pius XII, openly embraced and concealed Nazi War criminals.

With this preamble introduction completed,,, let’s learn. A slightly distant precedent דברים יז: ח – יג. The mussar instruction of the משנה תורה contrasts with the non-commandment Oleh bird offering. The משנה תורה obligates our bnai brit allied People to present our disputes before lateral common law courts. A precise exact precedent, כד: א-ד. The mussar instruction here compares the Cohen bnai brit alliance among our people to a divorced and remarried woman. That woman’s first husband, should not despise and detest his ex-wife. In like manner, Jews who have a dispute with other Jews, we need to respect our alliance together as a People.
Consider ישעיה ג: טז – יז as a precedent which supports the k’vanna of this mussar.

The משנה תורה now weighs the mussar k’vanna toward a meal offering dedication. A slightly removed precedent, דברים ה: יב – טו. The instruction compares the brit relationship with our people to honoring and respecting shabbot from chol. The brit relationship sets our people apart from all other Goyim on the Planet Earth, just as shabbot stands separated from the days of chol. Another slightly removed precedent: ח: יט – כ. The mussar here stands on the יסוד of the disgraceful behavior of the brothers of Yosef. If we despise and hate our people, how can we honor our oath brit relationship with HaShem?

A exact precise precedent: טו: ז – יא. Here the Torah compares giving a loan, when requested by the poor among our people,,, even if the shmitta year approaches. Respecting the dignity of even the poor among our people, it measures and defines the precondition of loving HaShem with all our wealth; as expressed through the language of the kre’a shma. A precedent which supports this mussar, ישעיה א:א-ט.

Shall learn the next three סוגיות as one intact סוגיא: ב: ד – יג. A distant not precise precedent, דברים ב: ח – ל. This mussar precedent compares the negative commandment, not to make war upon Moav, despite the decree which bans all Moav males from becoming Jewish. Irregardless, the Avraham/Lot family relationship merits respect. This mussar makes reference to the Wilderness generation. Learned in context, that cursed generation clearly they would not and did not respect the oath brit alliance cut among and between the nation of Israel @ Sinai and Horev.

The king of Sichon, he informed Avraham of the capture of Lot. None the less, this does not compare to the alliance which Avraham and Lot swore to one another. The language: HaShem hardened his spirit and heart against Israel, it compares to a similar language touching Par’o in Egypt in the days of Moshe.

A much closer, but still slightly removed precedent: ה: א – י. The Oral Torah brit explanation of the revelation of Horev’s interpretation of the Sinai experience. Only Israel accepted this revelation, which resembles a 10 commandment statute law! To discern between Common vs. Statute law — it compares to differentiate respect for our bnai brit people from all other Goyim; both this and that live as human beings. Our assimilated failure, to differentiate between our shared oath alliance cut between ourselves, from alien Goyim who have no such oath alliance – effectively guarantees bringing Torah curses upon our heads, and upon the heads of our children and their children etc.

Contrast a distant precedent: ו: כ – כה. On Pesach night the question asked by the wise child, together with its תשובה. All generations of Israel came out of Egypt. Hence our people strongly advised to always separate the k’vanna of our behavior toward our own people, as contrasted by non bnai brit Goyim – family first.

Another slightly distant precedent: דברים טו:יב – כג. Sending away the Eved Iveri, respecting his dignity and giving him the means to start his life over again. The bnai brit folk have an obligation to for-ever remember our deliverance from Egyptian slavery. An exact and precise precedent: כד: יז – כה: יט The positive commandment to guard the dignity of the poor and weak among our people. Court room righteous justice, when our people dispute among ourselves – this compares to respecting the dignity of the fatherless and widow. The יסוד of respect, equally applies also even to all domestic animals under our command.

In like and equal measure the positive commandment of Yevbum. Protecting and respecting the dignity of our people, the positive commandment to protect ‘their’ backs. This positive commandment equally expressed through our business practices among and between our bnai brit people. A popular opinion, that we Jews have lost the ‘fear of heaven’ to do the mitzva of Yevbum. If so then we have equally lost the ‘fear of heaven’ to practice honest and straight business dealings with our people.

Absolutely no difference between the positive commandments of Yevbum and honesty in business. Both require ‘fear of heaven’. The master of a good name, builds a reputation – shared among his neighbors, that that righteous man guards the backs of his bnai brit people. He gives them heart, during hard times when they endure anguish and distress. Unlike the ”’friends”’ of Job. A precedent learned from ישעיה ט:יג – י:לב, the prophet gives a exceedingly bitter and very harsh g’lut mussar.

The closing סוגיא of ויקרא פרק ב: By now משנה תורה common law, obvious to all, the sharp day and night difference between this type of legal system from that of Statute law, as expressed in the tumah codes of the Rambam, Tur, and Karo codes. The Book of ויקרא opens with the kleppot shells of religious korbanot ritualism. This 3rd Book of the Torah absolutely requires the משנה תורה to understand the k’vanna of these positive time oriented commandments. Worlds separate the substance of tefillah, from the forms of the written Siddur.

The substance of government, the current leaders calling the shots. The forms of government, the halls of Congress or the Knesset building. The sharp contrast between the substance vs. the forms of Government. The Prime Minister together with his Cabinet, who devises and determines State strategic and tactical policies. Far removed and different from the buildings wherein these leaders conduct the business of State. In like manner the k’vanna which requires that the Moshiach builds the Beit Hamikdash.

A slightly distant precedent: דברים יב: כט – יג:א. The P’sach killing of the first born contrasts with assimilation which arouses the desires to pursue the customs manners practices and ways of Goyim societies who never accepted the revelation of the Torah @ Sinai & Horev. Another slightly removed precedent: כג:כב – כד. The forms of korbanot intrinsically depend upon the k’vanna of the oaths and vows sworn by the person who dedicates a korban, holy to HaShem. This closing סוגיא has no precise משנה תורה precedent. But ישעיה כז:יב – כח:ד functions as an exact precedent. Here the mussar differentiates between the gaulah of Yechudah, from the klippah g’lut of Ephraim. Woe to the statute halachah fools, who confuse the forms of halachic ritualism. With the substance of k’vanna, required by all positive time oriented commandments – dedicated as a korban – holy to HaShem. HaShem commands the substance of k’vanna of positive time oriented commandments … not the forms of halachic ritualism and worship.

Mrs. Halely states when asked how she would conduct diplomacy with Russia – touching the Ukraine. She fails to address the elephant in the china closet. Mr Putin’s fears of the Ukraine becoming a member of Nato, like as did Poland. No. Diplomacy has nothing to do with “Speak and speak loudly”. Diplomacy first and foremost recognizes what defines Russia’s Red-lines in terms of her strategic national defense interests. Clearly having Nato sitting right on the borders of Russia, as would happen if the Ukraine and international intervention/sanctions, succeeds in pushing Russia out of the Ukraine.

Russia invaded the Ukraine precisely on this point. Russia defense in depth strategies absolutely reject Nato forces occupying the Ukraine. You can not discuss the strategic importance of the Ukraine to Russia without pulling out a map and examining the geography. During WWII the largest tank battles in history, fought over & upon this disputed real estate! Now diplomacy between Great Powers only begins when the interests of these opposing Great Powers, they start by putting, at least some of their cards upon the table.
